Jason Gale's Bloomberg Weekend article traces how medicine neglected myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome for decades, following Utah doctor Lucinda Bateman, who took on the patients other physicians rejected after her sister Shauna fell ill with the condition. It says long Covid brought ME/CFS research money, scientists, and attention — including studies finding muscle damage after exertion and immune-targeting drug trials — though no cure has emerged, while Bateman advises the NIH's $1.8 billion Recover initiative and warns that pushing patients to exercise can make them sicker.
